Van der Sar blow for United
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks after undergoing surgery on a broken finger and bone in his left hand.
The 38-year-old Dutchman sustained the injury saving a penalty from Danijel Pranjic in the Red Devils’ 7-6 shoot-out defeat to Bayern Munich in the pre-season Audi Cup in Germany.
